Accordingly, the best definitions of satire should be formulated from a combination of its corrective intent and its literary method of execution. I believe there is no satire without this corrective purpose. Inseparable from any definition of satire is its corrective purpose, expressed through a critical mode which ridicules or otherwise attacks those conditions needing reformation in the opinion of the satirist. An object is criticized because it falls short of some standard which the critic desires that it should reach. It seems to me a contradiction in terms to say, as some have, that satire need have no moral lesson or didactic purpose, for the essence of satire is aggression or criticism, and criticism has always implied a systematic measure of good and bad.

I now realize the Lord was setting up all the roadblocks, detours, and dead-ends in my life, leading me through a seemingly hopeless maze into a direct confrontation with His Son, Jesus Christ! Hebrews 1:14 declares that God sends His angels to render service to "those who will inherit salvation." He was surely doing that in my tangled life. When I was released, I continued pursuing the same activities. I was jailed eventually, hospitalized, and committed to a mental institution because of my suicidal inclinations. Thinking I would always earn a living as a musician, I dropped out of high school to devote myself to sex, drugs and rock n' roll. I did all I could to fulfill my carnal ambitions.
